Chapter 34
“That… I will explain that what happened during the ceremony was not your mistake, it happened because of me. Originally, I was the representative of the divine realm for this ceremony, and when I handed over the task to Naskan, I gave the wrong information about the second half, so Naskan finished the second half.”
Although she had to excuse this to Naskan, there was no way he would refuse what she said.
In fact, Sol Noctis didn’t make any significant mistakes. To put it bluntly, he was just distracted and took some time in the second half. Naskan covered it up because of the rift appearing just in time and ended the ceremony earlier than planned.
He was eyed by all kinds of fairies just because he got out of being the dry branch. The fairies who would be trying to drag him would see not only the mistake at the ceremony but the rift that was only briefly visible.
Even so, it was absurd for Sol Noctis to receive all the punishment.
“What is the reason for you to do that? Are you here to tease me?”
Chryselua calmly shook her head.
“No. Since I have a purpose to go to the spirit realm, in exchange for you taking me there, I’ll explain the situation. This isn’t because I sympathize with you, nor is it just a courtesy… I want to make a deal with you.”
“…What do you want to do in the spirit realm?”
“I have something to look for.”
The fruit given by the Lord was a plant. So if she went to the spirit realm, the paradise of plants, she would surely find it.
“So, I’m not going because of you. I just need you as a guide to the spirit realm.”
“…Are you serious?”
It would be understandable that Sol Noctis would be doubtful.
In fact, the balance did not match. For the dragon of the divine realm to explain the severe punishment of the fairy, it was not something that could be substituted simply by asking to visit the spirit realm together. However, there was no fairy other than him who could help her get to the spirit realm as soon as possible.
In addition, the reason for this was that Sol Noctis had overdosed on the drug when she intended to erase his memory of one night.
Even if it was because of the old days, it was only half right.
“Yes. If you don’t believe me, write a contract or something?”
Chryselua raised her head up to meet Sol Noctis’ emerald eyes. In an instant, the events of the day came to mind. The memory of the day they rubbed their naked bodies, kissed, tongue and saliva mixing, and shared their breaths while their bodies mingled.
For some reason, his expression now resembled the gaze he desperately sent back then.
“Here is my lair address. Come if you have any thoughts.”
Sol Noctis would definitely come. Although she actually wanted to get a definite answer here, it was hard. As soon as the matter was over, Chry hurriedly got up.
It was when she was about to get out of the door of Sol Noctis’ lab…
“Chryselua.”
Looking back, Sol Noctis was frowning. Hesitating for a long time about what to say, he brushed his bangs roughly.
“What I said earlier.”
“That’s okay.”
Chryselua averted his gaze.
“It is not wrong. To you… you’re right that it was pretty bad. I have no excuses.”
“…I will walk you.”
“That’s okay.”
She raised her arm and distanced himself from him.
“It’s not like our relationship suddenly gets better after a deal like that.”
At those words, Sol Noctis said nothing.
Leaving Sol Noctis’ lab, Chryselua walked aimlessly towards her lair. The farther she headed towards the outskirts of Sedition, the path paved with marble appeared less, and there was only the rough dirt path of the forest.
After walking that distance without flying, her head was slightly ventilated. Since she had quite a few things to prepare before heading to the spirit realm, she was going to put her miscellaneous thoughts away and focus on this for a while.
As soon as she saw her lair in front of him, it seemed that the frustration she had felt while meeting Sol Noctis had been relieved a little.
It was then. heard a strange noise.
Crack, crack.
‘What is this sound?’
Chryselua paused.
This was the same sound as when a rift opened during the ritual. However, even when she looked around, there was no sign of rifts opening or anything like that.
“Ugh…”
Her head felt extremely dizzy. As she pressed her forehead and tried to hold on, she couldn’t stand for long and sat down.
And soon her eyes grew dark.
Chryselua had a short dream.
She heard a voice she couldn’t forget.
[ You are not a disaster. I will prove it. ]
[ Is that difficult for you? ]
[ I will be by your side until the end. ]
And, as always, she saw the black sun… ah, it wasn’t the sun. The black halo that bent from it was a huge rift that split out of control.
The final great rift that finally destroyed the world.
Everyone left.
Chrys, who was left alone, cried as she watched the sky collapse due to the cracks.
She wished this world would end.
And she forgot.
As she opened her eyes, Chryselua couldn’t make out where this place was because her eyes were blurry. Wiping the flowing tears, she glanced at the ceiling.
A familiar place… it was her lair.
“Chrys!”
“Chryselua!”
“Chrys.”
“Chryselua!”
Nonetheless, she couldn’t figure out who had made such a loud sound in her lair. Chryselua opened her eyes with difficulty.
“Are you up? Are you okay?”
While Naskan helped her with a fuss,she accepted what he gave her. It was a liquid that smelled slightly bitter and sweet as the plants could be seen from the thick decoction of water.
It was Naskan who handed this over, but Sol Noctis explained it.
“It’s a good medicine for an empty body. If you drink it, your magic will be replenished somewhat.”
She didn’t know why Sol Noctis was here, but it made sense to think that he came to accept the proposal to go to the spirit realm with her.
Just as she was about to take the medicine, Axen Arc came to mind out of nowhere.
The image of her making a headache medicine and trying to take it, but he stopped her in a hurry. Although it was not clear yet, if it was true that the child has formed, she wanted to avoid anything that could harm it.
“Oh, I’m a little…”
Sol Noctis blinked. He acted as if he didn’t like having to say this
“…There should be no harm to the child, so rest assured.”
Chryselua reflexively turned her head to Naskan.
Was this man gossiping around the neighborhood? Before he could feel her gaze, Naskan’s shoulders drooped.
“Chrys, sorry… This kid keeps trying to give you medicine.”
“Why are you trying to give me medicine?”
Naskan looked almost crying.
“You collapsed near the lair, Chrys.”
“What, why?”
“It must be because of the child.”
Whoo, Naskan rubbed his eyes. It seemed that his heart had weakened and was about to burst into tears. Ever since he found out, he had been showing new faces On the other hand, Sol Noctis, who suddenly learned that she was pregnant (presumably), glanced at her the whole time and cleared his throat.
Even though he seemed to have a lot to say, she wasn’t really curious.
Anyway, the memory of sleeping together was gone, and they only know that she had a child.She couldn’t figure out how to fix this. Chryselua put her lips to the medicine and looked at them as she drank.
They didn’t seem to notice anything. Instead…
“…But did you two fight?”
Naskan and Sol Noctis glanced at each other at her words. Their eyes met for a moment before they turned their heads away from each other.
Hng. She heard a shallow snort.
‘…They’re still the same.’
Somehow the atmosphere was very strange. Naskan had more scars on his face than yesterday, and Sol Noctis, unlike his neat look, had disheveled hair and chapped lips. It was unbelievable, but it looked like the two of them had a fist fight.
Chryselua studied them and sipped the medicine.
It was sweet and the taste was good, and above all, she felt that her lack of magic was filled with each sip. Thankfully, her head , which had been dizzy the whole time since she found out about her pregnancy, became clearer and better.
